Description

波束引导方法、波束间协作传输方法及装置Beam guiding method, inter-beam cooperative transmission method and device 技术领域Technical field

本文涉及但不限于无线电通信领域,尤其涉及一种波束引导方法,波束间协作传输方法及装置。This document relates to, but is not limited to, the field of radio communications, and in particular, to a beam steering method, an inter-beam cooperative transmission method and apparatus.

背景技术Background technique

通过小区间的协作传输实现终端通信链路在小区间的快速迁移是LTE(Long term Evolution)系统后续演进的一个需求。LTE系统中多点协同传输的提出是为了提升小区边缘终端的传输速率,即提升边缘区域内的终端接收到的信号强度。多点协同传输(CoMP)的实现是以小区间干扰协调为前提的,多点协同传输是在多点间干扰被规避的情况下实现的发射分集,多输入多输出(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,MIMO)的传输方式。The rapid migration of the terminal communication link between cells through coordinated transmission between cells is a requirement for the subsequent evolution of the LTE (Long Term Evolution) system. The multi-point coordinated transmission in the LTE system is proposed to improve the transmission rate of the cell edge terminal, that is, to improve the signal strength received by the terminal in the edge region. Multi-point coordinated transmission (CoMP) is implemented on the premise of inter-cell interference coordination. Multi-point coordinated transmission is a transmit diversity that is implemented when multi-point interference is circumvented. Multiple-input multiple-output , MIMO) transmission method.

CS/CB(Coordinated scheduling and beamforming)是一种波束间协调技术,该技术可以动态降低来自其他小区的干扰。终端UE的数据能从服务节点得到,用户的调度和波束赋形是基于CoMP簇内eNodeBs间的协调结果。CS/CB (Coordinated Scheduling and Beamforming) is an inter-beam coordination technique that dynamically reduces interference from other cells. The data of the terminal UE can be obtained from the serving node, and the scheduling and beamforming of the user are based on the coordination result between the eNodeBs in the CoMP cluster.

下行CoMP的核心技术是JPT(Joint processing and transmission),JPT包括两种实现方式:The core technology of downlink CoMP is JPT (Joint Processing and Transmission). JPT includes two implementation methods:

动态节点选择,根据CSI信息,动态地从一簇参与协同发射的eNodeBs中选出一个eNodeB用于向UE发送数据;Dynamic node selection, dynamically selecting an eNodeB from a cluster of eNodeBs participating in coordinated transmission according to CSI information, for transmitting data to the UE;

联合发送,根据CSI信息,动态地从一簇参与协同发射的eNodeBs中选出两个或多个eNodeB同时用于向UE发送数据;Jointly transmitting, dynamically selecting two or more eNodeBs from a cluster of eNodeBs participating in coordinated transmission according to CSI information, and simultaneously transmitting data to the UE;

对于多个eNodeB同时用于向UE发送数据,分为两种情况:非相干发射和相干发射,所述非相干发射典型方式是发射分集,所述相干发射的典型方式是MIMO传输。For multiple eNodeBs to simultaneously transmit data to the UE, there are two cases: non-coherent transmission and coherent transmission. The typical mode of the non-coherent transmission is transmit diversity, and the typical manner of the coherent transmission is MIMO transmission.

从CoMP的链路控制方式看,一种是LTE系统中CoMP传输采用每个小区或节点分别控制的方式,其特点是:在多点协同传输(CoMP)中,每 个参与多点协同传输的无线节点或小区发出的控制指令只是用于控制本小区与终端间的数据传输,并不对终端与参与多点协同传输的其它节点间的数据传输进行控制,CoMP采用的这种控制指令本质上是基于传统的本小区传输或单流传输的控制命令;另一种是申请号为200910203029.9,发明名称为:“一种多小区调度信息发送方法,装置及用户设备”给出的由参与CoMP的一组节点中的一个节点作为控制节点,该控制节点发送调度指令对参与COPM传输的其它节点的数据传输进行控制。From the perspective of the link control mode of CoMP, one is that the CoMP transmission in the LTE system is controlled by each cell or node separately, and is characterized in that: in multi-point coordinated transmission (CoMP), each The control commands sent by the wireless nodes or cells participating in the coordinated multi-point transmission are only used to control the data transmission between the local cell and the terminal, and do not control the data transmission between the terminal and other nodes participating in the coordinated multi-point transmission. The control command is essentially based on the traditional control command of the local cell transmission or single stream transmission; the other is the application number 200910203029.9, and the invention name is: "a multi-cell scheduling information sending method, device and user equipment" One of the nodes participating in the CoMP is used as a control node, and the control node sends a scheduling instruction to control data transmission of other nodes participating in the COPM transmission.

在软切换过程中,移动台搜索所有导频信号以探测现有的CDMA信道并测量它们的强度。当移动台探测发现相邻导频信号集或者剩余导频信号集导频信号强度超过T_ADD时,它就发送一条导频信号强度测量消息(Pilot Strength Measurement Message,PSMM)至服务基站。During soft handoff, the mobile station searches for all pilot signals to detect existing CDMA channels and measure their strength. When the mobile station detects that the pilot signal set or the pilot signal set pilot signal strength exceeds T_ADD, it transmits a Pilot Strength Measurement Message (PSMM) to the serving base station.

服务基站将该报告送给MSC,MSC通知切换目的基站安排一个前向业务信道给移动台,两基站前向业务信道将发送除功率控制子信道以外的完全相同的调制符号,并由服务基站发送含切换目的基站的PN号、前向业务信道号和切换参数等内容的切换指示消息(Handoff Direction Message,HDM),指示移动台开始切换。The serving base station sends the report to the MSC, and the MSC notifies the handover destination base station to arrange a forward traffic channel to the mobile station, and the two base station forward traffic channels will transmit exactly the same modulation symbols except the power control subchannel, and are sent by the serving base station. A Handoff Direction Message (HDM) including a PN number, a forward traffic channel number, and a handover parameter of the handover destination base station, instructing the mobile station to start handover.

移动台根据接收到的切换指示消息,将切换目的基站PN加入有效导频集,同时对两基站前向业务信道进行解调。解调完成后发送切换完成消息(Handoff Completion Message,HCM)。The mobile station adds the handover target base station PN to the effective pilot set according to the received handover indication message, and simultaneously demodulates the two base station forward traffic channels. After the demodulation is completed, a Handoff Completion Message (HCM) is sent.

随着移动台的移动,当有效导频集的一个导频信号强度低于T_DROP时,移动台就启动切换去掉定时器T_TDROP。当定时器T_TDROP期满时它就发送一条PSMM至两个基站。As the mobile station moves, when the pilot signal strength of the active pilot set is lower than T_DROP, the mobile station initiates the switch-off timer T_TDROP. When the timer T_TDROP expires, it sends a PSMM to both base stations.

两基站接收到PSMM后,将该消息送至MSC,MSC回送相应的HDM,由基站转发至移动台,移动台再根据切换指示消息将该导频信号移出有效集,同时发送HCM。After receiving the PSMM, the two base stations send the message to the MSC, and the MSC sends back the corresponding HDM, and the base station forwards the packet to the mobile station. The mobile station then moves the pilot signal out of the active set according to the handover indication message, and simultaneously transmits the HCM.

软切换虽然在同频小区间实现了先连接再断开这样的终端在无线节点间的迁移过程,但是,终端软切换的耗时较大,仅物理层测量过程就耗时200毫秒,此外,两个相邻基站的业务信道与终端的分集式连接并不总是必要的,并且这种分集式连接限制了相邻基站间为迁入终端配置业务信道时频资源的灵活性。 Although the soft handover achieves the process of first connecting and then disconnecting the terminal between the wireless nodes in the same frequency cell, the soft handover of the terminal takes a long time, and only the physical layer measurement process takes 200 milliseconds. The diversity connection between the traffic channel and the terminal of two adjacent base stations is not always necessary, and such a diversity connection limits the flexibility of configuring the time-frequency resources of the traffic channel for the inbound terminal between adjacent base stations.

从雷达对目标进行搜索跟踪的技术看,边扫描边跟踪(TWS:Tracking While Searching)雷达是一种在连续跟踪目标的同时,还必须继续对空间进行扫描搜索的雷达。目前,地面监视雷达、多功能机载雷达和相控阵雷达大都具有这种功能,而且常要求边扫描边跟踪雷达能够同时跟踪多个目标。From the radar search and tracking technology, the Tracking While Searching (TWS) radar is a radar that must continue to scan the space while continuously tracking the target. Currently, ground surveillance radars, multi-function airborne radars, and phased array radars all have this capability, and it is often required that the edge-scanning radar can track multiple targets simultaneously.

先进的火控或警械雷达通常采用多功能模块执行多种战术任务,既可以在多目标环境下实施搜索,也可以实施多目标环境下的跟踪。目标数量的不同,工作模式多少的不同导致雷达帧周期的不同,对于机载雷达,为了保证对地平线以上目标的探测,其帧周期为10秒,超过10秒就会导致漏报目标。Advanced fire control or police radars typically use multi-function modules to perform a variety of tactical tasks, either in a multi-target environment or in a multi-target environment. The difference in the number of targets and the difference in the working mode lead to different radar frame periods. For airborne radars, in order to ensure the detection of targets above the horizon, the frame period is 10 seconds, and more than 10 seconds will result in underreporting.
